From the Philip Honeyman of Somerville, N. was driving through the woods near the Rari- tan river yesterday afternoon, when a naked man appeared in the road and sig- naled him to halt. Honeyman recognized the naked man as John Garrigan, who is eccentric and is said to be wealthy. Gar- rigan said that two days before he had gone to a lonely spot in the river to bathe, and that while he was in the water a burly negro tramp came along and stole his clothing. Garrigan resisted the negro, but was overpowered, thrown into the river and nearly drowned. He was ashamed to venture out of the woods in the day, and he could not endure the briars that pricked his flesh as he at- tempted to travel the fields by night. He crouched in the bushes as the lightning flashed and the rain beat down on Thurs- day night. Honeyman drove back to town and soon returned to Garrigan with shoes and clothing. Wash. B, Williams.

Americans Who Went to Topola- bampo Have Died by Hundreds. From the San Francisco Examiner. Six people—destitute and discouraged people—are all that now remain of the col- ony of the Verment and Massachu people, comprising several hundred ilies, Who emigrated some eight full of dreams of prospective we steamer Coos Bay, which arrived Friday from various southern ports, put into the little harbor at the mouth of the Tuertes river, the nearest coast point to Tepolabampo. It was the first steame: seen by the few inhabitants in over t Captain Jansen reports that © man, woman and child who could possibi get out of the desolate country has em: grated long since, all probably still deplor- ing their foolhardiness in listening to the tales of people who urged them away fri comfortable homes to a region of roc and sand, where little or no water exist and nothing will grow. The six white peo- ple who remain are there, he says, sim- ply because they cannot get out. The set- Uement of Topolabampo, which was pic- tured by the colony projectors as the gar- den spot of the world, is situated on the north bank of the Fuertes and is about thirty miles from the delta. It 1s described by Jansen as being cne of the most deso- late spots he ever visited. Many miles back of the colony site, toward the source of the river, is to be found productive land, and here the peons have recently gone into the sugar cane industry and a Mexican company has built a refinery. It was for the purpose of tuking on a cargo of sugar that the Coos Bay touched at the delia. Her consignment is the first of that product ever taken out of there. The sugar was transported down the river in canocs. The steamer Orizaba, which will make the next lower coast run, will stop for another cargo, and it is thought pos- sible that quite @ profitable trade may be established with the natives ———_+-e--_____ Women Graduates at Yale. Haven Register, In the rus and haste of Yale commence- ment a very interesting Incident was over- lcoked. It was the occasion of the receipi of the first degree conferred by the uni- versity upon a woman. Yale admitted wo- men Into its graduate department three years ago; and Wednesday the first female members of the graduate department to complete their courses were honored with diploma: There were four “Co-eds” in the co! mencement procession, although there were eight who ob:ained degrees. The four we Miss Mattie A. Harris, Lincoln College, Pirst From t Miss Sarah M. Sherrick, Otterbein U: versity, "95; Miss Alice E, Sawtelle, Colby University, '88, and Miss Kate H. Claghorn, Bryn Mawr, Their appearance in the procession to the chapel was the signal for continued applause ali This, however, was only an echo of what was to come. When the young women ap- peared on the platform and were handed their diplomas by President Dwight they were cheered heartily and long. Their ap- pearance before President Dwight was marked by a slight difference in the recep- tion of their diplomas from the style of the raale recipients of degrees. They neglected to bow their heads, and did not make the traditional Yale low bow, so familiar to all who witness the salutation of Yale men to President Dwight. They simply courtesie: without removing their mortar-board caps. This was wholly on account of the trouble of removing their caps, but was permitted by the faculty. It has been learned that the reason that the other female candidates for a degree did not participate in the pro- cession and exercises in the chapel was that they were timid and feared the boys would rot take their appearance pleasantly, as there has been some oppusition to coeduca- tion at Yale. After they saw the enthusi- astic reception tendered to their sisters whe received degrees they were sorry they did not march. Bic From the New York Tribune. “Talk about the street railways losing by the advent of the bicycle,” says a shoe salesman, “I think it is the shoe manufac- turers Of course there is a demand for bicycle shoes, and that practically opens a new market; but it must be a lmited mar- ket, when It is considered that one pair of such shoes will outlast three pairs of ordi- nary foot coverings, not because the sho; are better, but because they are not sul jected to the scuffling wear of the others. People ride to and from their work all the time now, where they formerly walked, or on bad days rode in the cars. If a person wants to go around the corner he will get on his wheel instead of waiking, as he once did. It is these thousands of steps that saves that save the shoes and make t shoe man’s heart sad. Se Knows Where He Was Hit. From the Chicago Chronicle, A young teacher In the Woodlawn Senool had a shock the other day, from which she has not recovered. It was not given he by electricity, but by one of the small ur- chins In her room. She is a sweet you woman, and has a sympathetic way with the little people in her care. So that when one of the small chaps came to her crying the other noon, all her tenderness w aroused at once for the little fellow. “What's the matter, dear?” she asked. “Are you hurt?” “Yessem,” was the reply, and the little fellow sobbed louder. “Did you fall or did some one hurt you?” asked the teache: “Willie hit me,” was the answer, as he rubbed his eyes with a solled handkerchief. “Where did he hit you, dear—in the base- ment?” “No'm, in the belly,” was the answer,” GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS Mr, Casilear’s Dangerous Experience With a Savage Dog. Committees Announced and Other “ Local Notes of Interest From Across Rock Creek. At 4:30 yesterday Mr. R. A. Casilear, the Georgetown real estate agent, had a thrill- ing experience with a huge dog on the Ridge road. The animal attacked him while he was walking quietly along the road. Tke beast seemed unusually savage, and made frequent jumps at Mr. Casilear’s face. Failing to bite the face, the animal then began his attack against the lower parts of the body. He first planted his teeth in his victim’s leg above the knee, then in ether portions of the body. All the time Mr. Carilcar was fighting the brute with all the strength the danger of the situation could inspire. He was unprovided with a Weapon of any kind. He did not even have a stick. Finally the dog made a bound and caught Mr. Casilear’s coat, holding on to it and snarling as if gathering new energy for a sccond attack at the flesh. The at- tacked man, realizing this, through a dex- terous movement slipped his arms out of the garment, and for a moment was free. Seizing the opportunity thus offered, he grabbed a large stone, and with all pos ble force hurled it at the dog. The doz Was struck, and he ran howling with pain. In addition to the bites Mr, flear sus- tained a sprained ankle. The fight with the Savage brute occurred just above the Light- foot place. The animal is said to have at- tached several persons prior to yesterday's fight. The timely appearance of neighbors have heretofore prevented the animal from seriously injuring the attacked parties. Should a child be attacked when no one Was around, in all probability the result would be horrible. Committees Announced, The committee of the annual picnic of St. Ann’s Aid Soclety, which will be held on the 22d instant, at Dumblane, have beon announced as follows: Paddle stand, Messrs. C. P.

Tenleytown was in darkness last even- ing, the storm affecting the electric light o ts and closing the current. Accord- ing to the police report this morning, there were twelve Hghts out from o'clock last evening until near 4 o'clock this morn- ing, and from 10 o'clock last evening until the same hour today the other seventy-two lights failed to illuminate, leaving the whole place in darkne: A Minunderstanding. Charles and Newton Dawson, John Con- nors and Michael Correll, young white men, were arrested yesterday by Policemen Blake and Passau, on suspicion of stealing a boat lying at one of the wharves. The prisoners were permitted to go after a short confinement, as it was found that they did not commit a larceny. The boat was owned by two men, and one of the owners, Harry Trunnal, gave them per- mission to use it, while the other owner, not knowing this, had them arrested for theft.

E. BIcy They Were Pleased With the Courtesy Shown Them, ISTS. Mr. eyele section of the Christian deavor nvention excursion committee, told a § reporter this morning that over three hun- dred Christian Endeavorers started in the bicycle parade given Tuesday evening, many of whom were visitors and not a few ladies. Coming down New Hampshire avenue the division presented an attrac- tive appearance, the riders being arranged four abreast, and the decorations showing John G. Muir, chairman of the bi- prettily, Along the avenue, however, said Mr. Muir, the spectators crowded in so upon the wheelmen that many became ured of forcing their way through the nar- row lane of humanity and dropped out of line before reaching the reviewing stand, Gratifying success attended the efforts the bicycle committee to entertain vis- iting Christian Endeavor riders during th convention. The early morning runs were Well planned, the routes led over easy and picturesque roads, passing points of historic and present interest, and the weather was mm every case all that could be desired. Be- tween two and three hundred En avorers attended these runs and expressed them. selves as specially gratified at the hospital- ty and courtesy of the local riders, who ac- companied them on eve —— THE STREET RAILWAY poycorT. ae at the Assem’ oxen to Do— Travel on the Line.

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS James Clift Struck by a Freight Train in the Tunnel and Killed. The Coroner's Jury Exonernates the Rallway—Sa’ je Lawson Dier From Her Injuries. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Jas. Clift, a man about thirty: #ge, who has borne a rather unsavory tation for some years, passed down Wilkes street in an intoxicated condition and start- €d into the Southern railway tunne runs under Fairfax street. An ance called to him not to go through the tunnel, but his reply was a short onv.and he continued his journey, which resulted in his death. He evidently sat on the track when about half way through went to sleep, for about half an hour later he was struck by a heavy freight train and literal- ly cut to pieces. The accident occurred the very spot where, in ISS2, he hill his wife by shooting. Clift’s body was removed to the undertak- n tried to ing establishment of B.
